Method for producing a space layer in between two disks with high uniformity
Abstract
A method for bonding of disk shaped substrates comprises the steps of providing a first and a second substrate, applying a liquid adhesive to a first bonding surface and a second surface, irradiating the lacquered surface of at least one of the substrates with UV light for increasing the viscosity of the lacquer, joining the substrates in vacuum, irradiating the joined disk with UV light for increasing the viscosity of the lacquer in between the joined disks, placing the disk onto a rotatable chuck, rotating the disc with a rotation speed preferably >500rpm, and finally separating the 2 substrates to leave the full bonding layer on one of the substrates.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method for bonding of disk shaped substrates, comprising the steps of:
providing a first and a second substrate to be bonded via respective surfaces, applying a liquid adhesive to a first surface and a second surface on said first and second substrates, irradiating the adhesive-lacquered surface of at least one of the substrates with UV light for increasing the viscosity of the lacquer, joining the substrates in vacuum thereby forming a bonding layer, irradiating the joined substrates with UV light for increasing the viscosity of the lacquer in between the joined substrates, placing the joined substrates onto a rotatable chuck, rotate the joined substrates with a rotation speed >500 rpm, separate the joined substrates to leave the full bonding layer on one of the substrates,
2 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of irradiating the substrates for final hardening of the bonding layer before or after the separation step.
3 . A method according to claim 1 , characterized in that a UV intensity is used for the first irradiation step is in a range of 10 to 100 mW/cm2.
4 . A method according to claim 1 , characterized in that one UV source is used for both irradiating steps.
5 . A method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the irradiation step after bonding is done within one second after bonding, preferably 0.5 s after bonding.
6 . A method according to to claim 1 , characterized in that the bonding and separation process includes the transfer of a earlier sputtered layer from the stamper disk onto the first substrate.
7 . A method according to claim 1 , characterized in that two different lacquers are applied on the individual substrates.
8 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the irradiating UV light is being supplied by means of a light-guide.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
